SIR - I had a road traffic accident on the morning of Wednesday, November 30 when I was on my way to Honiton on the A375.

While I was standing at the side of the carriageway, obviously visibly shaken and upset, many cars had a good look to see what had happened and carried on their journeys.

However, there was one very kind lady who pulled over in a green car and came over to see me to make sure that I was alright.

She gave me big hug and kept talking to me to reassure me that everything would be alright. I have no idea who this lovely lady was, but I would like to send out my heartfelt thanks to this lady as she is obviously a very caring person.

This has restored my faith somewhat in the general public and has taught me not to count everyone as the same.

Mrs R Shearer
